[anti-abuse-wg] WHOIS (AS204224)

I doubt -

1. You are being asked to code this for RIPE NCC

2. You get all that much spam to filter out - as far as I can see from linkedin, your previous experience is all in desiging and running IXPs and coordinating peering - I wouldn’t presume to argue with you about any of those.

So while you’d rather have the spam, there are people that need to filter much larger userbases, that would very much rather not.

Yet, all the outraged howls in this thread I hear come mostly from people who are from a routing or an addressing background rather than from any kind of a security background.

I suppose if many of your [and this is a collective your] colleagues with actual security and postmaster roles were to attend RIPE meetings, there wouldn’t be this highly comfortable consensus that everything is running just fine.
